Last september I purchased five .25" "curly hair" slings from a website/seller that is no longer in business. They were only $3 each. Anyway, they now have molted five times, going on six(one already has), and they don't look much like B. albopolisum, the long "hairs" on the opisthosoma are pink, and the whole spider in general is dark brown, except for the legs, they are more greyish in color. I can see what might be a hint of striping near the "knee". They look more like young E. camps to me. When I purchased them, this dealer was also selling .25" E. camps for $2 each, so I think it is possible that a mix up may have occured. I don't have a camera otherwise I would show you a picture, but I would like it if people could show me a pic of a 4-7 instar of each species so that maybe I could compare, or just give me an opinion. thanks,
